By investing in Islamic Sukuk bonds, a person would be participating in a peculiar but accepting intersection of financial security and ethical conduct, something which is so much the in-thing these days, especially for a person who is on the growing list of individuals seeking to double, or maybe triple their income without throwing overboard their belief system, the latter being the moral or religious core for most of the people. The compatibility of the Sukuk with Shariah is without any doubt one of the main reasons that investing in these bonds has become so popular. Not only Muslims find it extremely attractive, but the common people, too, who would like to steer clear of debts and avoid the financial whims of the market, become a part of this movement. Instead of being paid interest, Sukuk investors are now entitled to a portion of the income coming from the specific assets or operations that are used to back the investment. That actually results in a solution that is more honest and less risky, because more actual goods are used and the exposure is reduced to debt and credit rating only.
